Hopefully, I am not alone in my love for Ashtanga. I really do adore it and I know it has changed my life in so many ways. Each year, on Febrary 23rd, I celebrate my ashtangaversary. It is, of course, the anniversary of my first ashtanga class. Thanks to Facebook, I have a short record of my 6 years of ashtanga and today I thought I'd share a bit of my journey.

The practice of yoga can be very beneficial to everyone of any age, shape and physical standing. But what if there is a history of injury, sickness, surgery or any other number of limiting factors that come to mind? Often times, practitioners new to yoga will feel intense sensations in certain postures, which can beg the question of whether or not to continue to practice.
